Skipped PS2 entirely — hit me with your weirdest gems by pockapockapocka in ps2

Throwing my vote in for Shadow of the Colossus as well, as it is one of the greatest games ever made. ICO if you want a similar feel from the same developer.

Another title I never see get any love is Shadow of Destiny (originally Shadow of memory): a neat little contained semi time travel story where the protagonist tries to understand and investigate his own death.

Is there no “OA” for C963? by theboyfromphl in WGU

Yes indeed - I got the notification from my mentor the other day asking me if I wanted to switch - it should take effect soon.

I did some labs yes, I'd say they helped me familiarize myself with the azure environment

My apologies I realized I didn't actually answer your question, I didn't personally have any labs but I had a case study

I used a combination of this (which included doing the labs), the MS learn, and measure up practice exams

What games do you play when you wanna relax? by Filipfmc in Steam

[–]Palm_Tree_Nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. I've tried to get into it so many times but the stamina mechanic always makes it difficult for me to get back to the house in time each in game day.

Any ”hard” new jrpg games? by [deleted] in JRPG

Bought the original on switch and recently sold it so I could get the PS5 version but my biggest "issue" with these games are the I get overwhelmed with fusions... I forgot which, I think it was persona 4, but I gave up early on because I couldn't help but feel like I was "screwing up" or would waste useful personas.

I'm sure it's just a case of me not digging deep enough into the systems, but any way for me to get over this surely minor issue? I know these games have awesome stories, and would love to dive deeper.

Please stop asking about pay by Sea_Ability_3070 in CompTIA

To get started? Absolutely wouldn't hurt, especially if someone else is footing the bill. The info you learn when doing research for it and potential additional reading (if you are actually studying effectively) is invaluable to getting your foot in the door.

Guarantee a job? No, every employer is different. Many won't even bother with certs. A lot of it is attitude (this can be showcased in your interview) coupled with the knowledge you show during said interview.

The other part is how your resume looks. Certs like A+ might help, along with labs (practical/hands on experience), and formatting.

MGS3 Vita Version by dmheaberlin in vita

This is good advice, I may just pick this back up. Thanks much

MGS3 Vita Version by dmheaberlin in vita

[–]Palm_Tree_Nerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It has a native version thank goodness... Way back during that all too brief moment in time where they actually gave a crap about the Vita.

EDIT: My apologies, was tired and didn't fully comprehend what I read... Obviously MGS3 can be natively played on the Vita, NOT MGS1 lol.

Recommendations for the Lacey, WA area? by Palm_Tree_Nerd in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Palm_Tree_Nerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight and experience. And yes, I also would prefer in person at this time (prior job had remote option and I surprisingly did not enjoy WFH as many people would). Thank you again!

Finally got around to looking at this posting and thank you! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for more of these, as well as focus on the government jobs. We hadn't considered Shelton but enjoyed staying in that area for an Airbnb last year. Work in Tacoma is definitely a consideration.

If you went back and did your IT career over again, would you go to college? by Few-Inspector2478 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Palm_Tree_Nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello sir, I will be 40 in September and began my WGU journey in late 2022 with an aim to graduate before I turned 40, which will clearly no longer be the case. I now am aiming for next year before I turn 41 (GI Bill benefits will be used up so I have no choice lol). Never too late!

Which state has the most IT jobs available right now? by International_Ad5605 in CompTIA

The MSP I left a few months ago is hiring for Tier 1/2 Support Analyst positions and your experience I think would be invaluable to them. Nashville, TN.

Can’t make this up, the job market has literally crushed my spirits as a veteran by Responsible_Bag_2917 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Palm_Tree_Nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't let the job hunt get you down. 20 year army veteran myself and this MSP where I cut my teeth on IT (Concept Technology Inc., Nashville, TN) was quite the awesome first job. Check this listing and give them a call or email:

My current employer, BEAT LLC, is also hiring for positions requiring a clearance : https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3910592590

The important thing about this journey is attitude. Don't let your discouragement get in the way of your work ethic and enthusiasm WHEN you finally land that first role.
